See Below"Khojahs" and

"Pirana Satpanthis"

share largely many

things in common.

Imam Shah's father

is a Khoja Pir

See how the words

"Assassins" & "Fidai" began.

An very interesting story of

Hasan Sabah. Pirana

Satpanthni Pol Book also has

this story mentioned in it.

They dressed like Hindus

Sadruddin started the concept

of "Khanahs"

Pirana Satpanthis also have

such "Khanahs", which of-late

have been renamed to

"Nishkalanki Mandir"

Ali is presented as Lord

Vishnu's avatar

The last of Imams, i.e.,

Imam Mahdi is Nishkalanki

Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu

& Mahesh are corrupted.

Isn't this "Blasphemy".

"Shaktipanth" is renamed to

"Satpanth". See page 48.

Imam Shah's Father is

Kabiruddin and his Grand

Father is Sadruddin

Imam Shah founded a new

sect with was a Ismaili sect.

Imam Shah was boycotted

from Khojah community

In Pirana Satpanth's Ginans

you will find the word "Panj

tan Pak", which means

Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah,

Hasan and Husein.

Khojahs read Das Avatar (this

Das Avatar is not Hindu Das

Avatar)

See how

"Samarchhanta" ("Paval" of

Pirana Satpanth) is made

Satpanthis, are Shiah Ismailis

Religious books were changed

to "Satpanth", by Pir

Sadruddin

other. Even today we find this

system followed amongst

See how "Paval" is made

See Below

Matia Kanbis are people from

Kanbi community who follow

Satpanth "Mat".

In English "Mat" means

"Opinion" and in case

"belief"

Leva Kanbi caste was the first

group to largely embrace

Pirana Satpanth, the religion

professed by Imam Shah and

his son, Nur Muhammad Shah

People near Faizpur (which is

in Khandesh) who follow

Imam Shah are largely Leva

Patidar

Imam Shah converted Hindus

to Muslims

The followers of Pirana

Satpanth are looked upon

as source of revenue

Momnas (followers of Imam

Shah, see ahead) remain in

their Hindu castes, without

changing their Muslim religion.

"Outward" appearance is

of like Hindus. They follow

Hindu customs, but at the

same time bury their dead.

This is an example of use

of TAQIYYA
